The Anarchist Group Amsterdam and Paper Jam are organising an anarchist book fair. We are doing this to build and anarchist movement that can resist the violence of capital and the state. In a time of growing right-wing sentiment it is important to focus on building anarchist infrastructures for an autonomous and militant movement. Anarchist book fairs are an important part of this. They are the perfect place to meet new people and discuss new ideas, to exchange new texts, action and propaganda materials.

It all started fifteen years ago when the the Anarchist Group Amsterdam (AGA) decided to start a small library in the Infocafe Bollox. This bar has been located for 30 years in De Binnenpret; a once squatted, now legalized complex of buildings where nonetheless the struggles for housing, against the state, and many other anti-authoritarian struggles continue. The library has grown to an up-to-date collection of over a thousand books, zines, films and documentaries that can all be used for free by anyone, as they should be. By running our library and organising the anarchist book fair, we try to contribute to the struggle for anarchy. Come and celebrate the 15th aniversary of the anarchist library! Come to the anarchist book fair in Amsterdam!

There will be books, zines, clothing, buttons, publishers, distro’s, workshops, films, talks, vegan food and an evening programme with live music.
